To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EARLY T. Gnnuns, a citizen of the United States,residing at Enterprise, in the county of Coffee, State of Alabama, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Plow-Scraper-SettingTools; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, andexact descrip tion of the invention, such as will enable others skilledin the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in plow iron straighteningdevices and particularly to devices for setting plow scrapers to theproper angle.

The principal object of the invention is to provide a simple and noveldevice with which a plow scraper can be quickly and accurately set.

Other objectsand advantages will be apparent from the followingdescription, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a plan view of the device. ig. 2 is a rearelevation showing the plow scraper in position. Fig. 3 is a verticalsection on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2.

Referring particularly to the accompanying drawings, 10 represents atriangular base which is provided with openings to receive screws orother suitable fastening devices 11 for securing the base to astationary block or other suitable solid support. Formed integrally withthe base and on two sides are the vertically extending rails or sidemembers 12. The forward convergent ends of the rails 12 are cut away toprovide a space in which is formed a staple or loop being also formed orcast inthe base and side rail. Beforward ends, and pust in rear of whichthe staple is disposed is avertical recess 15. Loosely connected withthe staple or loop is a lever 16, carrying a pin 17, adaptedfor passagein the recess 15.

Inthe operation of the device, the scraper eye or central portion 18 isheated and then the wings 19 are grasped in the handsand pulled towardeach other so as to' bend the scraper slightly. The scraper is thenplaced on the base so that the lower edges ofthe drawn down on the eyeportion 0 scraper until the pin 17 passes through-the eye of the scraperand into the recess 15. The lever is then held down against the eyeportion of the scraper to firmly clamp the same against the block 14while the scraper is struck with a hammer on each side of the leveruntil the wings are crowded over againstthe side rails. The scraper isproperly set. I

From the foregoing it will be seen that the device is simple inconstruction, and that the setting of a plow scraper is accomplishedwith ease and facility. a What is claimed is:

A plow setting device comprising a base having vertically extending andconverging rails formed on two of its sides, the said sides being cutaway at their convergent ends, a block mounted on the base in rear 0 thecut. away portion, said block being formed with an inclined upperclamping lever pivotally connected to the basebetween the cut awayportions of the side rails said lever having a vertically extending pinfor engagement through the eye of a plow scraper and being arranged tohold the eye portion of the scraper on the block while the scraper isbeing set.
